Leading Minds

Our journeys are never linear and In life there will be issues and challenges that we can’t control, things that throw us off track that we could never have imagined. These could be small and able to be brushed to the side or in our guests case can be major and traumatic however at some point we come to the realisation that life still carries on so how do we get to that point and deal with these variable , uncontrollable challenges and also how have others coped dealing with major uncontrollable issues that have impacted their lives. In Episode 6 we talk to David Earles who’s story is one of never giving up no matter what life throws at you , overcoming severe illness , losing his wife and soulmate to cancer , going through an immense amount of bereavement but still having to deal with being a single father to an 18 month old and a 4 year old at the time , running the family business as well as holding down a 9-5. David overcame all these challenges and adversities to be able to bring you his story with his never give up attitude and the way he has dealt with and overcome external challenges that he had no control over is a lesson for all of us.

Episode 5 - Problem Solving & Mind Management With Kash Khokhar CEO KAU Media Group In this episode we discuss the characteristics of Inefficient and efficient problem solvers and how important mindset and network are towards achieving positive outcomes through the problem solving cycle. We can become caught up in negative mindsets focussing on the problem and not the solution and this episode aims to give you an insight into both the creative and analytical practices of efficient problem solvers. Challenges and issues will always arise in both your personal and entrepreneurial journey however the way we deal with these and the mindset we apply to resolving them makes a big difference to how these problems affect our mental health and ultimately how we achieve the solution in the most productive manner. In episode 5 we also discuss the importance of creating a stable support network around you and how this is a pivotal part of problem solving.

In this age of social media dominance it's easy to get caught up in the facade and make unjust, unqualified comparisons between our lives & others. In this episode we discuss what is the actual reality behind our perception of people and how we never truly try to understand someone’s journey nor the challenges they have faced to achieve what they have achieved. Deana Uppal is a great example of someone who has achieved great success in the entertainment industry as well as entrepreneurship but the reality of her journey is not what you might imagine it to be. Achieving our dreams and our goals is encouraged but to compare ourselves to others when we don’t know their reality can affect our mental health and can disrupt our own journey as well as creating a negative outlook upon ourselves which eventually could set us up for failure. In this episode we discuss how to overcome that mindset.

Sometimes we can feel like a victim or slave to our environment. We can convince ourselves that our mental health challenges are solely the fault of our environment to the extent we attach the reason of our failures to it. This is never the reality, Our environment is not something that should stop us from progressing or dictate our path and our latest instalment is an inspirational story from drug dealer to deal maker, that we hope will allow you to see that the way out of our environment is in our own hands and based on our own choices.

In this episode we discuss all things sales, self worth and success with John Ogah - CEO of My Free Course - Sales and revenue generation is one of the key fundamental elements of running a business and can have one of the biggest impacts on our mental health especially from a stress perspective. Here we talk about how these challenges arise from conditioned mindsets and how sales failures shouldn’t define us.

Where better to start than our own journey and what lead us to setting up Leading Minds. We hope that our own story can resonate with people suffering from mental health challenges and realise that you aren’t on your own. We hope to allow you to reach out and take advantage of the resources we have made available for you under one roof. These are tried and tested resources that helped us on our journey and we hope they can help you on yours.
